Perhaps, but I don't think is good for the overall game or development in the state.

For example, if you live in Walterboro, do you have a viable pathway to play and develop? Walterboro itself will never likely be big or 'competitive'. However, now those kids either drive a long way, on school nights, to play or they don't play at all because what league will they enter if the Coastal goes away?

How does that scenario benefit anyone? Keep in mind that Walterboro is just one example. Pawleys Island is another (CoastFA or bust now). The little guys have been squeezed out. 8 of the 14 clubs belong to two umbrella organizations.

Certainly the clubs don't HAVE explain or provide specifics, but is this really about scheduling? I think there is more to it than that. I have my suspicions, but that is all.

I also don't know how well it was advertised. I can't understand why other clubs didn't join if they knew (unless they weren't invited/allowed).
